About 10 years ago, I was taking an American Airlines flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I spotted JW immediately while in the waiting area but restrained myself from approaching him; I didn't want to freak him out or perhaps call unwanted attention to him among the other people who were in the room. But boarding the plane, I saw he had an aisle seat in the First Class section and I just couldn't walk by him without making a brief comment about how I much I admired him and his work (I quoted a Kathleen Turner line from "Serial Mom"). He chuckled and it really made my day!

I saw Pink Flamingo aged 15 and it changed my life. I'm now approaching 60 and would recommend the film to anyone struggling with their identity.

John Waters is a legend. I first saw Female Trouble on Xmas evening on IFC at the age of 12, and i was forever changed. God bless John Waters, there's no one like him.

I met John Waters at a gallery in Atlanta many years ago when the whole gallery was devoted to his paintings and drawings. Approachable and delightful.

My first John Waters film was PINK FLAMINGOS at the Flick in Larimer Square in Denver. I think it was 1975. Everyone in the audience of around fifty laughed so hard and clapped and bounced to the music...and Divine! Wow, what a memory. I'm a fan for life, and have all of his films on DVD in my permanent library to enjoy over and over. Thank you, John, for bending my brain in a delightful way. And you're still going strong at 77! Again, WOW!

John Waters is fantastic.

John Waters is all about subversion, but his personality is so warm, gracious, elegant, kind and positive. Holy smokes, he’s deeply lovely and brilliant.

What a wonderful interview of one of my favorite directors. My first John Waters film was Pink Flamingos at the old TLA Cinema on South Street in Philadelphia. They showed a 16mm print every Saturday night for a long time. Since then I’ve seen all of his films. Yes I’m a fan. I’ll be going to see this exhibition.

Visited the Museum last week... SUCH a gorgeous place... And John Waters' exhibit is WONDERFUL! Thanks, TCM for the interview!
@dhutch457
I had the pleasure of meeting John during one of his touring shows and had my picture taken with him afterwards. It's a shame we can't post pictures here, I'd gladly share it with everyone.
